TBN Monitoring: The Australian Government has imposed counter-terrorism financing sanctions on the Baloch separatist group Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) and three of its senior leaders over their alleged involvement in attacks across Pakistan.

The government named BLA Commander-in-Chief Basheer Zeb Baloch, the group’s spokesperson Jeeyand Baloch, and another figure identified as Hammal Baloch as sanctioned individuals.

This marks the fourth country to designate the BLA as a "terrorist organization", following Pakistan, the United Kingdom (UK), and the United States (US). Observers describe the BLA as one of the most organized militant groups in the region.

The BLA carried out one of the largest coordinated suicide attacks in the region during operations across Balochistan in February this year. The group says it is fighting for the “independence of Balochistan” and has continued attacks targeting Pakistani military personnel, financial infrastructure, and foreign nationals in the province.

However, Pakistan alleges that the BLA operates as a "proxy for India and Afghanistan", an accusation both countries deny, describing the conflict as Pakistan’s internal matter.
